Obtain Your Minecraft Data File
Only one yaml file needs to be submitted per minecraft world regardless of how many players play on it.
When you join a multiworld game, you will be asked to provide your YAML file to whoever is hosting. Once that is done,
the host will provide you with either a link to download your data file, or with a zip file containing everyone's data
files. Your data file should have a .apmc
extension.
Double-click on your .apmc
file to have the Minecraft client auto-launch the installed forge server. Make sure to
leave this window open as this is your server console.

multiworld game! At this point any additional minecraft players may connect to your forge server. To start the game once
everyone is ready use the command /start
